THE ssHOME RULE,s PLANK IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
How 1t Came TO he AdOpted-It was
the Work Of District Delegates, I'm.
tended for the Benefit Of the District
People.

People.
The Republican, in an elaborate defense OF the
President against the charge OF having violated
his party platform in the appointment OF carpet
baggers to District Offices, informs its ignorant
contemporaries shat the District OF Columbia is not
territory in the sense in which that word is used
either in law or platform making"
The plank In the national democratic platform
adopted at the Chicago convention in July, 1884,
under which the District democracy claim that
their party is pledged to ''home rule'
for the District is in the following
words: 1.-The selection of federal officers for
the territories should be restricted to citizens
previously resident therein" This plank was in
serted as the result OF the consideration by the
committee on resolutions, OF the following reso-
luton offered from his seat in the convention by
the District Of Columbia:
"Resolced, That the national democracy con-
denim the practice carried out by the republican
administration OF appointing nOn-reSidentS TO I'LL
positions OF honor and trust in the various terri
tories OF the United States and the District OF
Columbia, and that a resolution embOdying this
principle be inserted In the platform 10 be adopted
by this convention"
Mr.. Dickson said to STAR reporter to-day that
this plank mad always been construed by the Dis
trict democracy as applying to the District of Co
iumbia. In the records and the practice OF the
democratic ton the District was classed as
territory. In the roll Of delegates the District
was inserted, between Dakota and Idaho, in its
alphabetical order in the list OF territories In the
same way in the list of the names of the national
committeeman the District was placed in its
alphabetical order among the territories The sec
retary OF the convention in calling the roll after
calling the states, began 1.-THE Territory of Arr
iona" then he called 1.-The Territory of Dakota"
and then 1.-THE Territory OF the District OF Column
bla-" The resolution which resulted in inserting
this plank In the platform came from the District
OF Columbia and was personally urged before the
committee by the District democrats, and the
plank was understood then and has always been
considered, as embracing the District in its pro-
visions.

TALNAGE ON EVOLUTION.

exclaimed the Rev. 7. De Witt Talmage in BEGIN

in the congregational church last evening s'There
are some people," he continued "whO are pessi-
mists by nature and by what believe to be inf1u-
ences from below. They believe that the world Is
going TO smash, and believe that it is going to
salvation. The world began in a garden; 1t Is
going to end in garden" Everybody in the audi
ence which filled every seat I'm that large audito-
rum, applauded these sentiments, and the lee
turer then proceeded TO pay his respects to eyol-
ton and its advocates. He made a distinction
between science and so-called science, and said
that the former was not in conflict with revela-
ton. He arrayed the names OF AgaSsiZ Morse
Fields, simpson and others against those OF OAR
who denied the revelation OF the Bible made so
much noise that the impression had gone abroad
that they represented the world OF science. He
then compared the two methods OF explaining the
origin or things-the evolutiOnist with his primal
germs and protoplasm. and the Bible with the
omnipotent power OF God. After noting the pro-
from the primal germs to reptiles fish, quadrl-
peds, &C., he went back over the various
germs and asked, whence did they come?
How did they originate? He said that without
exception the evolutionst gave this question up.

WHY TWO LIQUOR PROSECUTIONS FAILED.
Nicholas Cahill, who keeps grocery store neal
the corner OF 21st and streets northwest was
before the Police Court this morning, charged by
Officer Hurd with keeping an unlicensed bar. Mr.
ID. E Cahill appeared for the defendant
William Jones, colored, testified that on the 18th
OF last month, which he thought was April, he
was in the defendants store with two women and
treated them. They drank catawba wine and he
drank whisky. Witness said the place was on 4th
street, and on crOSS-examinatiOn he located the
store at two other places in the city. He said he

had been convicted of stealing, for which he
served six months.

ON such testimony, and the court dismissed the
case. Mr.. Padgett said he had a similar charge

but would enter nolle pros. in the case.
The Judge stated that in liquor cases officers
should be careful in SummOning witnesses Per-
sons Who have been convicted OF crimes are not
the proper persons TO be called as witnesses, and
the government can hardly expect to obtain q
conviction on such evidence. Such testimony Is
worthless unless 1T Is supported by better per-
sons. OF course, the best men are not supposed to
be caught In such places

The next case called was that of VIM. Carley,
on charge OF keeping his bar open ON Sunday.
The prosecution called Officers Easeley and Rog-

mOny given by the colored boy for the prosecu-
ton, but on cross-examination Jones admitted
that he had been arrested a number of times and
that he had been in the penttentlary. Mr.. Cahill
said the tables had been turned ON him and that
he would not have called Jones IL he had known
he had been In the penitentiary. The court i'm
posed fine or $50 and costs.
similar case against Michael Carley was called
and he forfeited $50 collateral
the last liquor case for the day was called, and
MI Cahin for MI. John O'Malley, entered a plea
OF mot guilty 10 keeping his bar open on sunday.
Officer Easeley testified that he sent VIM. Jones
in the defendants saloon and he returned with
bottle OF whisky. VIM. Brown, cOlOred, testified
that he went In the saloon with Jones. Witness
